| Summary: | Systems on Chips (SoCs) architecture complexity
is result of integrating a large numbers of cores in
a single chip. The approaches should address the systems
particular challenges such as reliability, performance, and
power constraints. Monitoring became a necessary part
for testing, debugging and performance evaluations of
SoCs at run time, as On-chip monitoring is employed to
provide environmental information, such as temperature,
voltage, and error data. Real-time system validation is
done by exploiting the monitoring to determine the proper
operation of a system within the designed parameters. The
paper explains the common monitoring operations in SoCs,
showing the functionality of thermal, voltage and soft error
monitors. The different architectures that are approached
by the research community until now are discussed.
